The curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences is based upon the assumption that the essence of education is concerned with the physical, mental and moral develop- ment of the whole man and that specialization in particular fields should rest upon the foundations thus laid. Extending over a period of four years, the courses selected in this field are designed to afford the most solid foundation for the learned professions and the larger commercial pursuits characteristic of the present age. In the concrete, Santa Clara ' s study program for Artsmen prescribes training in the humanities, rhetoric, mathematics, natural sciences, religion and the various branches of philosophy. Whatever specialization that is offered is in the major fields of Econ- omics, English, Philosophy, Political Science, History, Biology and Chemistry. It must be noted further tha t the arts course, with the part exception of the natural sciences, is so outlined as to permit a considerable amount of laboratory work in any of the numerous extra-curricular fields such as debating, dramatics, publications, study clubs and class organizations. Failure to distinguish the value and logic of this type of work has often led careless observers to conclude that the College of Arts and Sciences gives the student inadequate preparation for his future pursuits. Whereas business stu- dents, engineers and lawyers are engaged in strictly pro- fessional courses, the Artsmen are given considerable breadth in their academic and non-academic work. The difference between the mediocre, the average and the honor student is apparent from an examination of the quality and quantity of his work in these essential phases of the Arts course.
